Preparation & Safety Instructions

While our cork bark is heat-treated at harvest, natural wood can occasionally harbor tiny hitchhikers (such as harmless outdoor ants or spiders). For the health and safety of your pets, we recommend prepping the bark before adding it to your enclosure:

1. Clean: Rinse and gently scrub off loose debris with warm water.
2. Sanitize:
   1.  Bake: Place on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 125°F–200°F (50°C–95°C) for 35–45 minutes (monitor closely).
   2. Boil: Alternatively, submerge in boiling water for 15–20 minutes, then allow to fully dry before use.
